Santai Sana, Sini With Dr. Maizatul Farah

The Santai Series is specially made for women who are seeking real comfort and style that fit their daily lives. To bring this collection to life, six amazing women who work in the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic were chosen to lead our Santai Sana, Sini campaign.
Introducing our third front-liner, Maizatul Farah, an emergency doctor in Park City Medical Centre tells a tale of her responsibilities, challenges and her interpretation of a good santai.

Tell us your daily responsibilities as a doctor.
“Working in the emergency department, I see literally everything and anything. Even though it’s not an emergency, I still tend to my patients but higher priority will be given to those with chest pain, accidents, seizures and other severe injuries.

What are the challenges faced during the pandemic?
“The challenging part is having to suit up in a ‘tyvek’ suit. It requires the wearer to zip up everything from top to toe for protection. Once you wear it, you can’t take it off and it literally feels like being in an oven. I am always covered in sweat but we have to endure it because you never know whether the patients who come and go have covid, and that includes myself and my colleagues. This is for our own and our patient’s safety and this is by far the most challenging part of my profession.”
